Answer:
250 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
It seems that you are learning the side-splitter theorem right now. If a line is parallel to one side of the triangle and intersects the other two sides, it divides the side proportionally. From the picture we can tell that the streets are parallel, with a line of intersection. Therefore, we can create the following equation of proportionality:
Now that we have this equation, we can use the <u>butterfly method</u> to solve for x. We <u>cross multiply</u>:
Now, all we have to do is <u>isolate</u> the variable to find x:
Therefore, the distance of Orange Ave between the 3rd St. and 4th St. is 250 ft.

It is given in the question that
Steven is solving the equation
He begins with the following two steps.
And we have to find , what will be the next step in solving the equation.
First we combine the like terms. And the like terms are 24 and 40. So we have to add 24 and 40. And that will be the next step.
So the correct option is the last option.
